The Gameweek concludes at Villa Park with the home side scrambling for points to maintain their Premier League status, whilst visitors City are equally desperate to revive the pulse of an ailing title race.

The likes of Pablo Zabaleta, David Silva and Christian Benteke are on show under the lights, with a nasty surprise amongst the team news for Sergio Aguero owners. Despite that, Fantasy managers look to fitting end to a Gameweek that has delivered some big scores thus far. Our Monday night Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to visitors wishing to vent in real-time while the minutes in the Midlands tick by.

The headline team news is that Aguero misses out having sustained a knee injury in training over the weekend: Carlos Tevez is drafted in to replace his compatriot in the 4-5-1. Vincent Kompany misses out again, while Gareth Barry is fit to return to the City bench. As for Villa, they are able to name an unchanged lineup from the side that lost out at the Emirates.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

        Well, not too bad of subs I suppose...
